Some stats for the forum. Most users ever online was 110, 01-27-2010 at 05:45 AM. Threads: 1,274, Posts: 12,728, Members: 589, Active Members: 133. We’re rolling right along towards the 1,000 registered user count which I hope we can achieve by June but things are slow going so far this year. While the forum was roaring with posts due to a few threads last week, it’s a bit calmer this week.
Woo Menus – This will be one of the big reasons why upgrading to WordPress 3.0 will be worth it. If you haven’t seen the video demonstrating how it works, check it out and then tell us what you think in the forum.
Ads On Your Website – Do you have ads on your site? What kind? What about direct sales or using a network? This is a good thread to get involved with if you’re thinking about different routes to take when it comes to advertising on your website.
CSS Mysterys – Mild Fuzz is working with tables and is finding out that his cells are not lining up despite having widths defined by classes. There are a couple of different ways in which Mild Fuzz can approach this situation that are discussed in the thread.
ABCs of WordPress – One of my favorite forum threads of late that is more like a game. Starting with A, members have to come up with a WordPress related word. We’ve gone through the akphabet about 4 times already. This is a great way to get a grasp of the terms used in WordPress.
Free Support – Ryan has been providing extensive free support for his plugins but was recently contacted by an individual who politely told him that one of his responses came off as rude. This has him rethinking free support as having a bad attitude will not help his business.
If you’re not a registered user of the Tavern forum, I highly suggest getting yourself an account and please, answer the anti-spam question or I’ll delete your registration.
What a pleasant surprise this show turned out to be. I started the show solo but about 10 minutes into the recording, a familiar voice called into the show. You might know him as Matt Mullenweg. Kim Parsell also joined me to talk about WordPress. We discussed a number of stories that occurred during the week but since Matt was on the line, I went into rapid fire mode discussing all sorts of things such as the road map for bbPress, the WordPress store and its possible role with the foundation, ideas on the best way to provide feedback on a problem, the most difficult aspect of managing the WordPress project, a bit about the default theme, why he won’t be attending as many WordCamps this year and just a ton of other stuff. Really want to thank Matt for dropping by on a night where I was prepared to go solo.
